My First Love

This might sound like a clique, but music is my life. I can't function without listening to music, I dream about it. I have never gone a day in my life without listening to music. A stream of emotions runs through my body when I'm listening to it. It's kind of freaky how one minute I'm jamming to Reggae all happy and full of life, then the song changes to a heartbreaking slow jam songs and I'm fighting back the tears.

Besides the emotions, what I love about music is the layers of instruments and synthesisers that a song can hold. With every song I lay down and analyse every instrument, the timing of every beat, the levels and the rhythm. My favourite instrument would have to be the saxophone. The sound that comes out seem so effortless and smooth, but it's not easy you got to have strong lungs to blow any woodwind instrument. I guess that's why I have such a strong attraction to Jazz and Blues music.

I adore all genre of music. Hip Hop, Rap, R&B, Trap, Jazz, Soul, Blues, Gospel, Pop, Electronica, Reggae, Dancehall and African. All of these genres give me a different type of warmth, joy, happiness and excitement every time I click that play button. Gosh I hope I have this much love in my future relationships, but until then music and God will always have my heart.
